Hello everybody,
I have been enthusiastically reading about all of your RV remodels.
We own a 1996 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. We are in the process of completely remodeling it (carpet, upholstery, paint), and since the entire Motorhome is only valued around $5000, you can imagine that I am trying to save as much money as possible by doing it ourselves.
My biggest problem is to decide what to put on the engine cover that is inside the coach, between the driver and passanger seat. The manufacturer had carpet on it, but since it takes the entire space between the two chairs, one has to basically climb over it, in order to get to the driver or passanger seat, and by then your are wearing shoes, probably covered with mud from the camping ground, so I don't need to tell you what the carpet looks like every time we come home from camping.
We are going to replace the rest of the carpet with vinyl planks. However, the cover has curves and bends, and narrows towards the top and trying to apply vinyl to it ..?!?! We were thinking about vinyl fabric. But the last time our transmission blew, that cover was as hot as a frying pan. Even during regular driving, it tends to get pretty hot, so I am afraid to use fabric.
The next choice would be to cover it with mosaic tiles,but I am not sure about the weight of tiles. The cover is made of Fiberglas...
If you have any suggestion, of what we can use that is flexible enough to go around the curves etc, but can still get pretty hot, I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you all!
